NetComposites Display Recycled Carbon Fibre Parts at Composites Europe 2011
NetComposites will be displaying automotive brackets made from recycled carbon fibre at the Composites Europe Show this month.
According to NetComposites, the parts have been developed using a new generation of high performance, low cost co-mingled carbon fibre yarns that were the outcome of the recently concluded multi-partner project, Fibrecycle. The yarns and fabrics are blended carbon/PET, manufactured from virgin recovered carbon fibre that would otherwise have gone to landfill and that these new materials have almost 100% of the stiffness of virgin materials. They can be offered at a lower cost than similar products currently available on the market. They say they are also beneficial to the environment and retain the traceability of virgin materials.
